Light emitting plasma is a gas and metal halide mixture that becomes heated, once activated, through an electrical field inside a very tiny little glass bulb. Once heated all the way, the gas and metal halide mixture, combined with the electrical field, creates a plasma state within the bulb in which an extremely bright light is produced. This bright light that is produced is said to be the latest technology to more closely mimic the sun in comparison to any other type of light fixture.

The new lights also consume just half of what HPS and MH fixtures do and last 50,000 hours—three times as long—as conventional ballast setups. They're new to market so expect the bulbs to be expensive and difficult to acquire for a bit until the technology further penetrates the market. [Marijuana]

Dang, these are actually pretty slick. They spin the rising vapor hard enough to separate tar from the smoke through centrifugal force. Has anybody smoked out of one of these? If so, let us know in the comments.
